The arrival of the Windrush generation was an iconic moment that shaped modern Britain. In light of the recent immigration scandal surrounding the treatment of the Windrush Generation, it is more important than ever to shine a light on their stories and highlight the important contribution the Caribbean community has made to our city.
Across London and the UK, hundreds of events are taking place in celebration of the first-ever Windrush Day on Saturday 22 June 2019. Take a look below for what's happening in London.
